AHCI vs. IDE Linux Performance Benchmarks

Posted by Michael Larabel on July 29, 2012

Hitting OpenBenchmarking.org this weekend are some interesting benchmarks comparing performance of AHCI vs. IDE modes under Linux from an AMD Fusion system.

A Phoronix Test Suite user has uploaded these AHCI vs. IDE disk comparison results from an AMD E-350 system with a Toshiba hard drive. On the software side was SUSE Linux 12.1 with the Linux 3.5 kernel. The file-system being used during this disk benchmarking was Btrfs.

Details and results in full are available on OpenBenchmarking.org via the 1207280-SU-AHCIVSIDE43 and 1207284-SU-AHCIMODEV67 result files. Below are a few of the results from this Linux AHCI vs. IDE mode comparison.

Find other interesting open-source / Linux benchmark results from the OpenBenchmarking.org home-page. More OpenBenchmarking.org improvements are coming during the Randaberg and Unterschleissheim development cycles; feature requests and other comments continue to be welcomed as well.
